The first men's semifinal of the Rome Masters 1000 lasted just over an hour. That's all Casper Ruud needed to assert his authority and confirm that he's back as a threat in these types of tournaments. The suit was too big for Luciano Darderi, who had never reached this far in events of this caliber, hence he paid the price in a match where he never quite believed in his chances (6-1, 6-1). The Italian will surely learn from this experience, while the Norwegian smoothly advances to Sunday's final with minimal wear.
